gdb links against system libs which the FSF has no control over:
	- python
	- xz-utils (lzma)
	- expat
	- zlib

this last one is also included directly in the gcc tree (also the sourceware 
tree in the past iirc)

gcc links to non-FSF 3rd party libs, albeit doesn't bundle them

so after talking to myself, i guess the issue isn't so much with using the 
system copy of dtc as it is with making it a hard requirement (which is 
different from how the other packages use 3rd party libs -- they're all 
optional).  might be able to reduce the requirement so only the hw layers hard 
depend on it, but i'm not sure if even that is possible.
